attached a start for RedBack SmartEdge 400/800 tcpdump disassembly.

Great - another DLT_ value spontaneously chosen by a vendor.

I added to libpcap's pcap-bpf.h an entry for DLT_REDBACK_SMARTEDGE - do they use this in any other equipment?

Checked in, with an RCS ID added to packet-redback.c.

I reverse engineered it from the shipped BSD tcpdump binary which has some
basic decoding features.

It might be interesting to do a patch to tcpdump.org's tcpdump to put those features into it.
